Title: Pics from Telluride trip
Post by: Irish-14 on September 25, 2012, 08:03:24 PM
We left from Pheonix on Saturday 9/22, stayed in Telluride, rode Million Dollar Highway, and came back Monday 9/24. Great ride.

An eclectic group of bikes on your ride.  Hope you took it easy on the rest of the riders. 

What was the deal with the cager in the ditch?  Looks like someone could get lost down there if no one saw you go off the road.

Beautiful slideshow!  :)
I see the V-Rod, a bike I like a lot.
And I also see you don't use navigators, but good ol' maps instead!

Thanks for the feedback guys, it was just an awesome ride. My buddy with the V-Rod used to ride a Connie 1000, he is adamant that this is the best forum on the planet with the most informed members, he'll appreciate your comments on his ride. The cager was a woman and her special needs service dog that went over the hill and smashed into a tree, I was a paramedic for 7 years and was able to use some of my old skills until the medics showed up 15 minutes later. My buddies love maps, will use my Nav when were actually rolling, but much prefer to look at maps at our stops. I'll have a video, actually moving video, available in the next few weeks, we got about 20 minutes worth and should cut that into a 5 minute reel. Go Irish!

-Funny side note. During the ride, when I'm comming up "hot" from behind, my buddies will often think I'm a cop, even though they know it's me. "Man, did you scare me, I see that Connie coming up quickly and think we're all going to jail, then I remember it's you..."

The Connie looks so much more comfortable then the other bikes. Nice slide show. I want to ride the Million Dollar Highway on my trip next summer.

Very nice.  I'll have to put something like that together for my WVA ride in a couple of weeks.
